After An Exaggeratar

HELENA, Mont, February 26.-The
copies of the New York Void of Feb
ruary 18th excited great indignation
amongst the stockmen, on account OF
the exaggerated statements contained
therein, of the condition ard losses of
live stock, sent by the Wos,d'$ CORE
spondent from Fort Keogh. It is under
stood that the special correspondent
is an army officer named J. z. Particle,
who. has little knowledge of stock bust
ness, and who has sat about the garri-
son fire this winter, and sent in exag-
gerated statements to the eastern press
concerning the losses and damage to
the stock interests. Stockmen are
talking OF placing the matter before the
War Department for action.
The Territorial press have located the
offender, and are giving him al over
hauling.

SHAWS VALUABLE SERVICES .
He Secures 81, 040-As LieuteGants
Pay for two Months.

Second Lieutenant John l.. Shaw, of
the Sixth Infantry whose case was men
toned in the Times of last Saturday, has,
thus far beaten all previous records in
the matter Of duplication of pay &C
counts. In December, as already stated
he quadrup!icated his accounts and the
paymaster's returns for January, which
have just been received, show that he
again quadrupieated his accounts for
that month. The amount paid out for
those two months for the services of
Lieutenant Shaw was 81, 04Ga The ac-
counts for January came through the.
same sources as those for December,
and were paid DO paymasters who were
not informed OF the previous payments.
The paymassers have been informed of
the escapade of Lieutenans Shaw and
warned againstpay any more of his
accounts. The. Pay Department is ex-
pecting several accounts from him to
come in every month for some time-tO
come. Lieutenant Shaw was in Wash
ington recently, and registered at oneof
the hotels under an ass3med name.
Major Tucker, the post paymasterhere,
saw him and settled one of his accounts.
Shaw was considered q veBy, promising
officer, and ais downfall, Brought about
by his excessive fondness for. cazds, is.
greatly reg3etted.-New York Times.

Fearful Storms Prevailing in the
North and Northwest.

ST. PAUL, February ga storm is
now prevailing all over the northwest,
coming from northern Montana, and
while the temperatures are not as low
as during the previous blizzard, the
wind has been unusually severe. At
10 o clock tonight, it is clear, but with
a sharp wind blowing, and above and
falling. The railways have hardly re-
covered from the preceding storm. The
Sioux City division of the Omaha is
blocked. The Hastings & Dakota is
blocked. The Minneapolis & st. Louis

A Big RailW az scheme

CHICAGO, February 26.--The Times
special from Fargo, OAK: 1t is learned
from a reliable source that three of the
great railroad building firms have COM
bined and taken contrast to build for
the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
Railroad. 700 miles of road between
Mouse. River in Northern Dakota and
Great Falls in Montana. From Great
Falls. the road continues south as far as
Helena. The construction is to be pushed
as few lines ever have been. Fifty
thousand men, if they can be had, will
be put on as soon as spring
opens. tits claimed that this line will
be in operation before next fall from
st. Paul to Helena and will have
branches to Butte and all lead
ing Montana POINTS, Compel
ing with the Northern Pacific.
1t will have the advantage of the latter
in grades, none exceeding forty feet to
the mile. 1t will also be operated at
much less expense. 1t is through a
a level country, and not troubled with
snow blockades. The line wiz be so
much straighter than the Northern Pa
cific that its haul from st. Paul to
Helena will be but little longer.
1t goes north of the bad lands and will
have a productive country nearly the en-
tire distance AS this road operates ia
connection with the Canadian Pacific,
it will be formidable competitor OF the
Northern Pacific for not only Montana
business bat that of the Pacific Coast.

WILHELM'S BAILIWICK.
The Recent Elections Bis
marck Did Say.

BERLIN, February 26.-The new Ger
man Liberal paper estimates the second
ballot for members of the Reichstag
will result in the return of 81 New
Liberals, II National Liberals, 166 Con-
servatives, 2 Free Conservatives, 7
Ultramontanes and Socialists.
The North German Gazette denies the
statement made by lie Temps, of Pa ris,
that Bismarck in 1879 declared that
Gortschakoff should never be permitted
to take the Balkan States for Russia.
The Gazette asserts emphatically that
Germany has no interest in the east and
will not NEEDLE in any quarrel which
may arise there. In conclusion" the
paper says, sit is impossible that Bis
marck has eyer said anything which
would warrant the inference that Ger
many would dispute with Russia her
claim to Balkans"
BERLIN, February 26s-After short a
debate, the lower house of the Prussian
Diet passed the second reading of the
estimates, approving the budget bills,
without division. The bill enlarging
the powers of local authorities in fixing
payment towards the maintenance of
public schools was referred to COM
mittee of twentY-one.
|. The papers continue to discuss the
possible combinations of parties result
ing in the formation of majority
strong enough to oppose the Chancellor.
AMONG THE POSSIBLE GROUPINGS,
the ol6 Conservatives, never. close sup
porters of Bismarck, may unite with
the clericals, thus making the majority
composed of the Kreutz Ze1tuny party,
the Centre and particularists. 1t is re-
ported the old Conservative leaders
have already made overtures to the
Centre, with the view of having the two
parties act together in the event of
Herr Benningsen's attempt to carry
out his design of overthrOwing Minister
Battkemer 1t is impossible to predict
the attitude of the Centre. If the tone
of their organ, Germaria, be taken as
an indication, they are ready to con-
tinue the struggle against Bismarck.
GERMANY opposes the new church
bill as insufficient to meet the demand
of the Catholics, but no combination
can deprive the government OF an abso-
lutte majority for the sepEennate; and
most other purposes.

had declared to him personally their
intention OF removing from the county

A S.AVORY SCANDAL.
Something For "sAwcietY' to FIutter
About.

New YORK, February 26.-William
E. English, son of Hon William
English, of Indiana, the Democratic
candidate for Vice-president in 1880
was arrested on board the steamer
Etruria, int before it was time for her
to sail for Europe to-day. The order
of arrest was sued out of the. Supreme
Court by Mrs. Lucy A. Case, formerly
of the Indianapolis Home for Young
Men. Later in the day, and too late
to catch the steamer, Mr.. English
was released on bail. Mrs. Case mas
been q widow six years, and has child
years old. She is of prepossessing ap
pearance and attractive manners. For
several years she was saleswoman ia
the store of A. Morrison, of Indlanap-
oils. While here she was
INTRODUCED TO YOUNG ENGLISH
in January, 1886. She was then board
ing at small family hotel in that city.
She alleges that he visited the store
daily, paying her attentions, escorting
her home from WORK; to places, OF
amusement, etc.. that he professed
great lOf0 lOI ucI anu CdncO Ou ACI dt
her home; that his attentions became a
matter of public notoriety, ana it was
generally believed that they were en-
gagged. She charges that in July,
1885, on one OF his visits, after entering
he locked the door; that she begged him
to open and let her out, but he refused.
She charges that he then
AssAILED HER CRIMINALLY.
She alleges that through the fear of
disgrace and exposure, she did not
make public the offense, but refused to
again see him. Subsequently, she says,
she informed him of her condition, and
alleges that he took her to physician
and had an abortion performed.
She claims that English promised
to make amends by marrying her, and
that he threatened to kill her in
case she married any one else. She
was obliged to leave her position, and
asserts that he has since supported her.
A few days ago, she says, he sent her
500 to pay certain expenses. On De-
cember 10th, she removed to. this city.
He refused to marry her, and she sues
for damages to the amount of SIS 900.
She applied for the arrest to compel
English to furnish bonds to appear.
